1) Drag

“We were born naked, and the rest is drag” -RuPaul. The history of drag culture is complex, but fascinating. From set of Jerry Springer to gay nightclubs from RuPaul’s Drag Race to Marco Marco’s runway shows each and every form of drag is an expression of raw creativity. If you’re unsure about the whole drag thing, check out Ryan Burke’s Instagram and you’ll get the idea.

2) National Parks

National Parks are rad. Not only are these places beyond amazing to visit, the entire National Parks Service is a treasure. Focusing on more than just preservation of land and resources the NPS has artist residencies, researchers, provides accessibility and education to everyone. Needless to say going to every National Park is my bucket list.

3) Costumes

Like my grandfather once said, “If you’re not having fun, it’s your own fault.” Costumes are always fun, enough said.

4) Estate Sales

Estate sales are really just treasure hunts. Wandering through someone’s house, and being able to look through their belongings is strangely interesting. You are given a rare glimpse at who the person was, and what they valued. These sales are uncomfortable, crowded, and always worth it.
